Lawsuit Challenges Connecticut Pistol Ban, Citing Heller Precedent
What happened
Glock and the National Shooting Sports Foundation filed separate lawsuits in federal court to block Connecticut’s ban on certain popular pistols. The legislation, which was signed into law by Governor Ned Lamont in May, is being challenged based on the Heller precedent. The NSSF stated that the law violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on Second Amendment rights.

Why it matters
